Two determined applicants training for the Philippine Coast Guard-share nothing in common but fierce ambition and a surprising coincidence: both go by the nickname "Sam." in training. Thrown together by fate and drills, their rivalry slowly turns to friendship, then to something deeper as they face the physical and emotional trials of training. In a world where discipline reigns and attachments are risky, A Tale of Two Sam's is a story of courage, connection, and a love forged at sea. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. Copyright © 2025 Ringarrde
